There are only about 10 million ppl in the country, prob fewer than 6 million over 20. Higüey, where I live, is suppose to have 100,000, but feels more like 30 or 40,000. Three miles north of town, the road turns to dirt and the population drops down to a couple dozen per sq mile. Once you take STGO and SD out of the figures, it's about as dense as Vermont.
